Lloy and GS have roughly the same net assets. Lloy revenue is almost 40% higher than GS. GS is valued at nearly twice Lloy. Go figure.

Why it's time to buy Lloyds Bank, Shell and Vodafone - By David Brenchley | Wed, 12th July 2017 - 13:00
With such an increasingly uncertain macro backdrop - rising inflation, stagnant wages, political uncertainty and Brexit - the UK market has fallen out of favour with asset allocators at the big investment management firms.
The UK has been dismissed as a basket case and, true, recent data has hardly impressed. Corporate earnings momentum has also just turned negative for the first time in a year, as benefits of a weak pound and higher oil prices fade. We're now seeing more downgrades than upgrades.
"The relative risks do not appear to be fully priced in," argue strategists at broker UBS.
Elsewhere, with US markets expensive and earnings forecasts overly optimistic, investors are being nudged toward Europe and emerging markets.
But, while DIY investors should diversify through exposure to overseas markets via investment funds and trusts, a home bias is understandable, as UK stock markets are easily accessible.
The good news, then, is that plenty of UK-focused fund managers still see pockets of value. And, in a note to clients this week, UBS trumpeted that it has 94 'buy' ratings on the 213 UK companies it covers. Take that with a pinch of salt, of course, but it suggests selective stockpicking can still pay off.
According to UBS analysts, the FTSE 100's (UKX) 12-month forward price/earnings (PE) ratio is roughly in line with its long-run average - 14.2 times versus 14.7 - and trades at a modest 4% discount relative to history compared to Europe. "It's a similar story on the dividend yield and price/book value measures," they add.
"Whilst we see the bulk of sterling weakness as behind us, given the sharp deterioration in the domestic economy, we would have a preference for international exposure."
The broker's top FTSE 100 picks list is headlined by a couple of heavyweights, although they're at opposite ends of the scale regarding their level of domestic exposure.
Five most favoured stocks
The expected slowdown in the UK economy should not put investors off backing popular high-street lender Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY), says analyst Jason Napier. "In four of the last five UK recessions it paid to buy banks early."
He reckons Lloyds is "well positioned for a downturn", due in part to good capital levels, good forecast capital generation, its defensive loan portfolio and high levels of liquidity.
"Lloyds targets 200 basis points of capital generation in 2017, worth 6p of potential payout power. Compounded by the completion of the government sell-down, we believe Lloyds offers strong income returns."
Forecast earnings per share (EPS) and dividends per share (DPS) of 7.4p and 5.5p respectively put the stock on a forward PE of 8.8 times and yielding over 8%. At a discount to the European bank average, a re-rating is expected, so UBS tips Lloyds up to 85p, implying 30% upside.

you have to learn that "AT" on the order book ( offer side) are sells instead of buys
and then maibe you will be less pessimistic
